The Blues have endured a tough time of things since the turn of the year but will no doubt hope the visit of struggling Southampton can help restore some sense of positivity.
Enzo Maresca’s side were beaten at Aston Villa last time out, meaning they have tasted defeat in three consecutive games now.
What had once looked a surprise challenge for the title now appears to be a battle for Champions League qualification and the pressure is on Maresca.
That will only increase if his side cannot get a positive result at Stamford Bridge later this evening. Saints may avoid being the worst team in Premier League history in terms of points totals but have endured a miserable campaign and losing to them would be a major blow.
Chelsea may be without some key players but, given how poor their opposition have been this season, they will be strongly expected to win.
Three points could lift the mood somewhat, albeit the manner of the performance cannot be overlooked. Saints have been so poor that three points alone would do little to drastically improve the mood as things stand.
With that in mind, here’s a look at everything you need to know about where to watch the game.
